Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Durin’s Pyro Sub-DPS Kit and Team Support Role

In Genshin Impact, Durin has always been an interesting name. First appeared in version 1.2 as a scary dragon in Dragonspine, making players notice him quickly. Later, in version 4.8, fans see a very different side of small, cute, and friendly Durin. He then acquired a humanoid body in the version 5.6 quest. All these hints may mean that HoYoverse wants to make him playable one day. Things get more serious when he appears in the Nod-Krai teaser trailer. That strongly suggests Durin may come as playable in the autonomous region. Lots of leakers already say version 6.2, Luna III update, could be when he releases. Recently, leaker DK2 shared some new info about Durin’s role and kit, and many people discussed what that could mean for the game.

Genshin Impact leak teases Durin's kit details

Fans of Genshin Impact have some reason to be excited; some leaks now show new things about Durin, maybe he is playable as Pyro sub-DPS, and also support stuff. First, he was a dragon in Dragonspine, then later he appeared small and humanoid in quests, always making the community notice him. Now, leaks say maybe he has strong Pyro skills, can shred resistances, and help team damage more, giving new ways to play for casual or competitive.

Durin as Pyro Sub-DPS and Team Helper

Before, the only thing confirmed about Durin was Pyrovision from the Song of the Welkin Moon teaser. But DK2 says he will probably be Pyro sub-DPS with support abilities. That makes sense, because many main Pyro DPS already exist. Powercreep Archon too soon is not a good idea, so a sub-DPS fit works well. As a sub-DPS, he does not carry the whole team but helps others. Team Mew adds more detail, saying Durin could shred resistances for Pyro, Hydro, and Anemo enemies. That makes the team deal more damage when elemental reactions happen. Modern characters like Citlali and Escoffier already do this, so no surprise.

Comparing Durin and Xiangling’s Pyro Abilities

Genshin Impact Durin’s leaks suggest that its Pyro application is much stronger than Xiangling, which sounds crazy because Xiangling has no internal cooldown. Meta has already shifted since Natlan, so maybe Durin's powercreep Pyro sub-DPS for real. That makes him stronger than many 4-star supports, giving more options for team builds. He does not replace Xiangling completely, but 5-star Durin gives players another choice for the Pyro team. Fans have been wanting proper Pyro sub-DPS for a long time; leaks show maybe this will finally happen. Resistance shred in his kit also makes him strong in reactions, lowering Pyro, Hydro, and Anemo defense on enemies, helping the whole team hit harder.

Elemental Shred and Team Benefits

Resistance shred is a big part of the Durin kit. By lowering enemy defenses for Pyro, Hydro, and Anemo, teammates hit much harder. That is very helpful for teams who rely on reactions a lot, making fights easier and damage more consistent. Works well on single enemies or group fights.

Combine with a strong Pyro application, Durin makes other characters deal more damage too. That means he is good for casual teams and also meta-level builds. Elemental Shred also opens more chances for reaction combos, giving players more freedom for team design and strategy. Many fans are excited because he gives a new option instead of Xiangling, who many people always use for Pyro sub-DPS.

Durin’s Expected Release in Luna III Update

Durin’s official release date is still not confirmed, but leaks keep saying maybe it's version 6.2, Luna III update. If leaks are real, he could change how people make Pyro teams, give new ways for reactions, and cause more damage. During strong Pyro application and resistance shred, players try new combos, especially reaction-heavy setups. He could shake the current meta, give an option besides Xiangling, so teams have more flexibility for damage rotation and element reaction. Just like planning ahead with Genshin Impact Nefer ascension and talent materials leaked, preparing for Durin’s arrival could save time and give teams an edge.

The Genshin Impact leak teases Durin's kit details, giving a first look at what may be one of the most flexible Pyro characters. A mix of sub-DPS power, support abilities, and resistance shred makes him a possible main choice for many teams. Fans still wait for official confirmation, but if the leaks are real, Durin may become the new favorite for casual and competitive players. Finally, he gives alternatives to old Pyro staples like Xiangling, lets teams play differently, tries new strategies, and does more reaction combos in fights.
